Many AirPods owners have reported that their AirPods battery is drained rather too quickly. There seems to be no cure of this issue. We believe that there’s nothing wrong with the AirPods themselves. Rather some components in the charging case of AirPods is to be blamed for this issue related to battery life.

Losing AirPods

Since AirPods are small, wireless but expensive, you wouldn’t want to lose them. If you’re a person who frequently loses things, you should seriously think about whether to buy AirPods or not. There was an app “Finder for AirPods” to help you keep track of your AirPods but unfortunately Apple pulled it off App Store. Those who bought the app got their refunds.
